this was the amount in 1886. She has

reimbursed from the public treasury by

STRENGTHENING FOOD.
A Subject Of Considerable Interest to
RaIsers OF Poultry.

A Subject OF Considerable Interest to
RaIsers OF Poultry.
With poultry culture, the use of
strengthening. stimulating food is very
important at certain times, but when-
ever it is used it should always be ac-
companied with caution and good judg-
ment on the part of the breeder. There
is time for all things. and the time to
use food calculated to force growth or
production is only when such course
will do good and not do harm.
Ireally believe that it is best not to
give the breeding stock any stimulating
food. other than occasionally to supply
or provide for any lack of insect or
animal diet that may occur. Fowls that
are fed too abundantly on animal food
soon show the bad effects created by
such treatment.
To treat the fowls in the best possible
manner is to initiate nature as closely
as possible. A very little meat for
each fowl, and the same of green food
is all they require of this kind of diet,
as the only thing to be accomplished is
to supply their natural demands in as
natural way as possible.
In speaking in the above manner
mean to apply principally to fowls in
tended for breeding purposes only, fol
when the fowls are raised principally
for market purposes the case becomes
quite different, the idea then being to
get the most good in the least possible
time. Cooked food is excellent in &C
complishing this result, and should be
used freely, and any such stimulating
and warming food as onion, red pepper
and such like should be supplied occa
sionally and as often as the breeder
thinks it is advantageous to his flock
The principal value of such stimulating
food is to warm up the whole system
and this will serve to act as an appe
tier, and by judicious use OF this
kind of diet it will not only be valua
bl. for what little nourishment it con.
tains in itself, but the other food vii
be better assimilated by coming in con
tact and being treated in connection
with this stimulating food.-Amef1ca'

The Garfield Monument.

Some criticism is passed upon the
inscription on the pedestal of the Gar
field statue in Washington. On one
side may be read: James A. Gar
field, 1S31-1SS1, Major-General q. S.
"; member of Congress, Senator, and
President of the United States of Amer
ica." General Garfield was never a
member of the Senate of the United
States. and there is in official parlance
no such expression as Member of Con-
gress," aud if there were the term
would cover membership in both
branches of Congress. General Gar
field was a Senator-elect when chosen
President, but he had never been sworn
in and could not thus be designated by
that title. The inscription, to be cor
rect, should be ''Major-General U. 5
v, Representative in Congress, Sena.

States of America. Carp, in Cteue'

til after many Of its neighbors had be-
gun to show their foliage, and it Is this
fact which recalls the following story:
One day when Louis XVIII. was talk

Limoleon, about the weather. the latter
imprudently alluded to the famous
chestnut tree. what is the chestnut
tree OF the goth Of March?' inquired
the King. Il hear some one speak Of
1t every year" The Count saw that
he had made bad mistake, but tried
to repair 1t. ''Sfre," he replied, ..eyery

episodes Of your reign what il

Isle OF Elba, arrived in Paris and took

Piled the King; "but what has it to do
with the chestnut tree?'' THE followers
Of Bonaparte observed that on that day
there was one tree in the garden which
was covered with leaves, while the
others had none at all, and the mob
rom Paris came to see the tree which
it was said put forth its leaves in honor
Of the usurper." WELL" said the
King, this merely proves that trees
are like men in some respects; they do
not all have the same opinions. And

restoration this particular tree had con-
tinued to have leaves on the 10th OF

reply seemed to annoy the King, and,
although he said nothing about it, the
courtiers decided it would be best to
cut down the Bonapartist tree and
substitute one that was more proper
and loyal in its habits. But what hap

that he had forgotten all about it. They

arrived at the garden and found the
tree in full bloom, with even more
leaves and flowers than before. Their
modification may be imagined. The
King, however. treasured them by re-
marking, after he had taken a good
look at the tree, well, let it remain
